It’s nearly time for the World Naked Bike Ride , which will stage its Newcastle leg this Saturday, July 2.

The event, which is set to attract hundred of riders will start at Northumberland Road and end at Sage Gateshead, having already visited a number of cities across the UK, including Cardiff, Bristol and Manchester.

It’s free to take part you just have to be fit and well and ensure your bike is in good working order.

The route is set to take in most of Newcastle’s famous streets including John Dobson Street, Blackett Street, Grainger Street, the Bigg Market and Sandhill.

According to its Facebook page, the free annual mass ride which takes place in over 50 cities around the planet is all about celebrating bikes, bodies and low-impact living; highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists and our strength and safety in numbers and protesting against fossil-fueled climate change and the dominance of our streets by cars.

Organisers add: “this is a peaceful protest/demonstration which welcomes all cyclists who wish to help in conveying a deeply important message.”

There are also plans for a social event to take place after the ride, with the venue to be confirmed.

The event is set to begin in West Jesmond from 2pm and if you still are un-decided as to whether to hop on your bike, watch the video of when the ride hit Manchester.
